This surgery was done by Dr. Martin Rothman, he is a cardiologist and person who supports this surgery whole heatedly. The surgery was first done on a person who is 68 years old with complications of diabetes and high blood pressure.
Within a period of three months the patients will see a drastic reduction in their blood pressure levels. The results came within the first two weeks for the first patient. It is very simple surgery, that it allows the patient to go back home on the same day.
